EVERTON boss David Moyes is plotting a move for highly-rated Denmark international striker Andreas Cornelius.

Cornelius has been tipped for a switch to the Premier League after impressing for club Copenhagen and country.

Stoke were reported to be close to a move for the 20-year-old hitman last month, while Manchester United and Arsenal are thought to have previously scouted him in action.

However, Everton could steal a march on their rivals to sign the 6ft 4in target man, who is keen on playing in England.

The Toffees lack a genuine goalscoring forward who can help push them on in their quest to break the top four, and Moyes wants to address this issue if he stays on at Goodison Park beyond the end of the current season.

Croatia's Nikica Jelavic has been left on the bench recently despite a strong start to life at Everton following a move from Rangers, and Victor Anichebe has impressed recently but may not be the long-term solution.

£5m is rumoured to be enough for Everton to bring in Cornelius, who are also plotting a move for midfielder Kevin Strootman.
